AES is able to automatically detect and record any traffic offenses as soon as they are committed in accident-prone areas where the system is installed.

AES implementation covers offenses such as:

Beating the traffic light

Speeding

Information of these offenses is then sent in real time online to the AES Control Centre. The information is processed to identify the driver/owner of the vehicle based on the information in the RTD database.

Summons will be issued automatically and sent by mail to the person who is summoned (OKS).

The system automatically sends the information to the court for trial if the OKS chose not to pay the compound or decided to go for trial.

What are the advantages of traffic enforcement through AES over the existing methods?

Increased effectiveness of enforcement actions by detection and the issuance of summons in a transparent, accurate and continuous manner.

Enforcement officers do not have to manually record the offenses at the side of the road all the time.

An enforcement system that is safe, confidential, trusted and continuously available. It is able to operate 24 X 7 X 360, day and night, in all weather conditions.

Without human intervention. This will enhance the integrity of enforcement (not seasonal, no interaction with offenders and corrupt elements in the streets).

Capable of detecting offenses committed by private, commercial and public transport vehicles.

Calibration for each fault detection and image-recording instrument are made in accordance with the 2007 National Measurement Act so that the recorded offense will be a prima facie case.

Transmission of data/image is difficult to be intercepted because they are encrypted and sent automatically after offense detection.

AES is a direct the trigger for the purpose of teaching/shaping our drivers to adhere to road traffic regulations.

The system structure is designed so that legal action cannot be denied or disputed in court by the offender. It facilitates prosecution by providing evidence that is acceptable to the court (Control Centre is linked to all Traffic Courts).

The locations for the AES cameras are determined by MIROS with the help of JPJ, PDRM and the JKJR.

The basic information that is used is based on the police accident report (Pol.27).

Data from this report was analysed by MIROS to identify the coordinates of the accident locations.

These locations were scored (ranked) according to accident cases. Accidents are scored from high to low - accident cases, serious injuries, minor injuries and minor accidents. Locations that accumulated the highest scores were given priority for AES camera installation. The locations were also verified.

How many cameras will be installed?

566 speeding cameras.

265 traffic light cameras.

A total of 831 cameras.

250 units (30%) of the total are mobile units - the mobile cameras are operated in accident-prone areas that have no infrastructure (electricity, communication range, etc.) for the installation of static camera.

Will the public be upset with the Government's implementation of AES?

The implementation of the AES may cause a public outcry because the system will drastically change driving behaviour in a short time. However, people have the option to not break the law.

AES will be implemented gradually. It is expected to be 100% completed within 18. This period is sufficient for the government to implement awareness and advocacy programs.

The advocacy program is the responsibility of the Road Safety Department (RSD) to ensure understanding and acceptance of people towards compliance with traffic laws, the responsibility to resolve traffic offenses and road safety awareness.

AES fixed camera installation locations are not secret but touted as a reminder to motorists. Warning signs will be installed to notify motorist prior to entering AES covered areas.
